Foreign sugar Notes.

Advices under date Port Louis, May
18th, respecting the Mauritius sugar
crop are as follows: Regarding the sugar
crop, the month of April and the preced-
ing one have not been entirely favorable
to the plantations, being generally cold
and dry but during the present month
the colony has experienced heavy sum-
mer rains, which have done some good
to the canes, which still bear traces OF
the terrible drought of 1886. However,
competent judges are of opinion that the
next crop will exceed that of last year
by 10000 tons, or perhaps $4,000 If SUI
ficient rain falls for the next two months.
The sugar market has been without ami
nation during the past month, but the
preceding prices have been pretty fairly
maintained. There is no longer any
white sugar of first quality in the market,
and grey syrups are getting very scarce
and are still in great request. The avail
able stock does not exceed 250 900 bags,
and consists principally OF medium
whites and inferior qualities, suitable for
the Indian market. Ciearances for
New Zealand comprise 252 tons for
Lyttelton and 100 tons for Port Chal-
mers Freights to Australia are quoted
at EOS and to New Zealand at 32s Cd;
exchange, sixty days; bank credits,
New Zealand 43 per cent premium.
The exports during this season to New
Zealand amount to 3 400 tons. The total
stock OF sugar in the Island is 24,700
tons.
A Magdeburg syndicate have pur-
chased all the warehoused German beet
root sugar, and are raising the prices to
rs. Refiners are seeking for Java car
goes.
A Sugar Bounties Bill is before the
German Reichstag, which fixes the
bounty on the expectation of German
raw sugar at IS Cd per cwt.; refined
sugar, 9s I'D to 9s 91ad per cwt. 1t
will be strongly opposed, though it is
not expected to be defeated, but an at
tempt will be made to reduce the
bounties.
A London dispatch under date June
10th, states that vigorous opposition is
being raised to the system of sugar
hounties, and that arrangements have
been made for holding National Con-
ference in London, the date of which
had not yet been fixed.

have had repeatedly to draw attention TO
the very satisfactory manner IN which
the Mariposa and Alameda did their
work. and to the excellent time kept by
the boats named. The present trip OF
the Mariposa is quite in keeping with
past VOYAGES in fact the steamship has,
if anything, exceeded her past perform
ances, SO much so that when her ap-
pearance off Tiritiri was notified on our
bulletin board shortly before O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon, the news could
scarcely be credited. Her time from San
Francisco to this port is Is days Ii hours
no mean work. In the matter OF pas
sengers and cargo the Mariposa is not
so ,gell pal~onized as hitherto, but those
who travelled by the Mariposa speak IN
the very highest terms OF praise OF the
care and attention bestowed upon them
nv Captain Hayward and his officers,
and the very high state of order and
cleanliness in which she has been
brought into harbor speaks volumes IN
! favor OF her officers. A naost graceful
compliment was paid to Her Majesty the
Queen on Tuesday last by Captain Hay
ward and his officers, for in honor OF hei
birthday fireworks were set OFT, and IN
flowing bumpers her health and long
| life was drank by all on board.

Samoan Affairs.

A. M. Mabin, who has been resident
in the Samoan Islands for some time
past, sends the following in a private let
ter to friend in Auckland, under date
of May 18th:
81 do not know what the conference
sitting on Samoan affairs in Washington
may do. If they give the control to
Germany, all other codlntrymen may
clear out, as it will certainly be made
too hot for them to remain I suppose
you would see by the papers that the
Samoan Government had confeaerated
with the Government of Hawaii. The
Germans are of course highly indignant,
and refuse to believe there is anything
in it, but if England and the United
States are favorable to the scheme, the
arrogant German will in this case have
to play second fiddle to the small coun-
try of Hawaii. The Hawaiians have
really we'll organized Government, and
/ think their confederating and assist
ing these people to form and maintain
Government is just the thing that is
wanted. If Germany took these islands,
they would be nothing but a naval ar
senal and a standing menace to the Aus
ralian colonies. Hawai-, on the other
can never become dangerously
aggressive. They are all English-speak-
ing people, and have strong British and
America oroclivities. | think the New
Zealand and Australian Governments
should do all they can to assist the Ha-
waiians, seeing that it is hopeless to ex-
pect Britain either to annex herself or
allow any of the colonies to do so. 1 ain
anxious to see the outcome of matters
here, aud shall wait till something defin-
tie has been agreed upon

THE NEW MINISTRY.

1t has pleased His Majesty the King
to appoint the following gentlemen to be
members of his Cabinet:
William L. Green, Minister of Finance,
vice P. P. Kanoa, resigned.
Godfrey Brown, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, vice Walter NJ. Gibson, re-
signed.
Lorrin A. Thurston, Minister of In
terror, vice L. Aholo, resigned.
Clarence w. Ashford, Attorney Gen
eral, vice Antone Rosa, resigned.
His Excellency Mr.. Green is we'll
qualified to hold the important position
he has been called to, having held port
folios in several previous Ministries.
His Excellency Mr.. Brown, although
no stranger to political life, having occu-
pied seat in the Legislatures of 1882
and 1884, now makes his debut as a
Cabinet Minister. For several years he
was Registrar of Public Accounts, po-
sItion he filled with much ability.
His Excellency Mr.. Thurston COM
menced his political career in the Legis-
lature of 1886, in which up to the time
of his appointment as Minister he repre-
scented the electorate of the islands of
Molokai and Lanai. A vacancy is thus
caused in the present Legislature.
His Excellency Mr.. Ashford unsuc-
cessfully contested the electorate of
Waimea, Kauai, in 1886, and now enters
the political arena for the first time. He
has been a prominent member of the
bar for the past three years
